If you can do it, why not do it then, Draymond? ?#USABMNThttps://t.co/JUEbgUDAGb

As part of Team USA’s contingent for the Rio Olympics, Draymond Green must be proud. Not everyone gets to represent their country at the highest level of international competition, after all. But when Draymond gets proud (which is to say, all the time), that’s when the trash talk starts. And there’s no better target than the USA Select team, the group of young bucks meant to practice against the first team.
Victor Oladipo and Stanley Johnson are on that select team, and they were having fun with some dunks on the court, when a dressed-down Green walked up and started getting into it with Oladipo after a windmill dunk. “I can do that!” he insisted, as he did even more vociferously when Stanley Johnson bonked a two-handed self-alley oop. With a backpack on, there was no way he was going to back up his words (and he’s not the most explosive leaper to begin with), but that didn’t stop his mouth from running.
Who knows why Draymond decided to start running his mouth — who knows why he ever runs his mouth — but hopefully, he pushed Oladipo and Johnson to try some more exciting moves. And yes, Stanley, we want to see Green back his words up too.
